In compound interest what exponent would you use if you invest your money for 5 years and it is compounded semi-annually
What is 10?
400
20% as a decimal
What is 0.20

You invest = $4000
interest rate = 4%
time = 3 years
compounded = monthly
How much do you have after 3 years? A = P (1+i)^n
What is $4509.08

Explain how to determine the value of i in the compound interest formula below:
A = P (1+i)^n
Take the interest rate in decimal form and divide it by the number of compounding periods per year.
500
Principle = $750
Interest rate = 6%
invested for = 2 years
Interest is compounded semi-monthly. How much do you have after 2 years?A = P (1+i)^n
